WOW!! Are you trying to blow the engine before you get it tuned?? I know it was hard staying out of boost & not revving it during the breakin period, but sheesh you don't want to take a chance and ruin something before you get tuned.

Sorry, I had to say something.

I have no intentions on putting ANYMORE BREAK-IN miles on this car. I spent a nice amount for almost EVERY upgrade on the engine that I could get, and it came with a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. My mechanic only wanted 1,000 miles with 1,500 being a good safety. I have put 2,000 on the engine and now it's time for it to perform. I took it back to the mechanic to be tuned and he blessed off on the two programs loaded in the FC, and the wide band reading are good. I also got the upgrades to allow me to spin the engine to 8,000, but thanks for the advice. THESE CARS WERE MEANT TO BE DRIVEN NOT PUTT-PUTTING AROUND TOWN.

I agree with you Mike, I just had not read anywhere that you had gotten any sort of tuning, so I just had to say something in case you were so excited to have your car back together and not tuned. Sorry, I don't know you, just read a few things on here.

Hope to meet you and your 7 sometime.

Holly

Back from the beach, and drove the car around last night. Spotted one 93 at Logan’s and the AWD's were having some sort of gathering at the old Media Play parking lot. Did anything happen over the weekend that I might have missed?

Charlotte Tune

I'm not sure if anyone has been keeping track of the tune that's planned in Charlotte around the third week of July, but if you need a tune now it the time to start planning for it. I had scheduled a tune with Steve Kan, but I had a water seal let go and I couldn't make it. His next tune date was the end of July, which is way to long for me to wait, plus it's going to be at Pettit down in South Florida. I would rather drive to NC then to FL any day, so I'm joining the Charlotte guys for this tune and Brian says that he has slots open. He will be there all week instead of just Saturday and Sunday. I’ve talked to both guys and I’m willing to see what kind of results I can receive from my tune. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

What's Up For the Weekend

Well, I'm pretty sure that this will be one of the first weekends that I don't have to visit NC or SC for any reason. I will be taking the dash apart to figure out the tach issue, replacing the stock accordion air filter hoses and finally putting on the 99 spec tail lights; all parts that I have had in the living room for over a month waiting on the car to return.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

How Lucky Can We Be In Savannah

Francisco; how are you so Lucky?

Where was your neighbor about a month ago before I had to rebuild. Well it's done now and I'm riding. I will be by TODAY; I have to go to NAPA by Sams Club for some Scratch remover. First I have to cut some grass and drop by the Yamaha dealer for a master link for my chain (it just disappeared some how). Look for me around 3.00pm<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Later
